Spanish anti-austerity and anti-corruption activists Jorge Arzuaga and Alex Aceituna say they have been on a hunger strike for more than a month in an attempt to force the resignation of the administration of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.

Three others have joined their hunger strike in Madrid, and sympathizers have periodically taken part in other parts of Spain by going on shorter hunger strikes. Aceituna has lost 10 kilograms (22 pounds) so far, and Arzuaga has lost 7 kilograms (15 pounds). less
